Leslie McKenna, M.S., L.P.C.

Licensed Professional Counselor

In treating depression, clients are instructed in the concept of neuroplasticity and how they can influence neural firing so that life affirming thoughts and emotions are re inforced in the brain by what clients do with their awareness. All clients are instructed in meditation skills or centering prayer to foster neural integration and improvement in well being and mood. Clients are instructed in the relationship between thoughts and emotions and are given skills to practice between sessions to impact their mood in a positive manner.

Depression is a symptom that could result from a number of factors: brain chemistry, diet, exercise, trauma wounds, hidden anger, failing relationships, family tension, burnout, boredom, and others. It could also possibly be the threshold to a new stage of growth and healing. I work alongside clients to explore these possibilities, and find avenues to real healing.

Amanda Shanks, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Have you been feeling more down than normal? Have you been feeling less energetic and noticed changes in your sleep and appetite? Is it sometimes difficult to stay focused? Are you easily agitated? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you may be suffering from depression. Sometimes depression can develop in response to a particularly stressful life event, and other times, depression can be a re-occurring issue for certain individuals. I assist clients in tapping into their own individual potential and strengths. If you are looking to find meaning and healing in your life, achieve life goals, and improve your relationships with others, then call today for an appointment.

Paula Cherry, MA, LPC, LCAS

Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Addiction

Depression can leave you unmotivated, lonely, isolated, angry, and in some cases suicidal. It can have a negative impact on your relationships as you struggle with the symptoms and those around you struggle with your symptoms. I believe there is not one answer for all but that as individuals this issue can be approached from numerous angles like exercise, diet, therapy, and when appropriate medication.

Samantha King, MA, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

The Experiential model for working with and through depression is focused on the treatment outcome of developing client's strength, autonomy, capacity for change, and self-compassion. The experiential process is structured for the client to gain awareness to thoughts, feelings, and behaviors separately but at the same time in the present "here and now" activity or task; the client is thereby able to recognize a holistic sense of "being" in the moment and improve emotional control of negative emotions like anger, shame, and fear.

James Colvin, M.Div., LMFT

Psychotherapist, Marriage & Family Therapist

Depression is common in our culture. The two basic approaches I use are to identify the source and go back with the client to help heal the wounds that may have fostered the depression and, if warranted, to seek medication to lessen the symptoms. Body work can be very helpful in treating depress--identifying where it may be located and finding ways to release the cellular memory.

Kevin Gyoerkoe, Psy.D.

Psychologist

If you're suffering from depression, you're experiencing sadness, loss of interest and other painful symptoms. Effective therapy can help you bring back joy to your life, to find vitality and hope once again. Therapy can reduce or eliminate the symptoms of depression and help you discover the keys to preventing these symptoms in the future. If you're feeling depressed, the good news is therapy does work and you can get back to being you again. You'll notice an increase in energy, peace and happiness returning, and a sense of meaning and purpose developing once again. There is no reason to suffer--seek help and find joy in your life once again.

Greg Preston, L.P.C.

LPC. Licensed Professional Counselor.

Depression can be paralyzing, or it can be like dragging an unnecessary weight around. You may be isolating, less social, low energy, & pessimistic. Fear not, there is help available! Talking to a trained, licensed professional will help. He or she will ask you questions, get to know you, and then help you acquire realistic, practical tools to beat depression, and be happy again. Maybe even happier that ever. A good therapist is trained in active listening to get to know you like other people typically don't. This is a necessary prerequisite to guide you to a better place, and help keep you there. Don't be alone in your struggle to feel better. Talk to someone that can help!

Lonnie Mullet, MA, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

My approach to depression depends greatly on the presenting problem as people become depressed for a variety of situations (anxiety, stress, existential/meaning, grief ). After assessing & evaluating a course of treatment with the client, treatment may involve cognitive behavioral therapy, relaxation techniques, Logotherapy to explore life's meaning, or perhaps an exploration of spiritual depression. Of course, if the depression is judged to be major depression referral to a physician's for medical intervention may be explored.

Kimberly Leppert, MSW, LCSW, CSAT-C

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Sometimes it feels like the storm will never pass. You do not have to wait for life to happen to you, it is possible to create positivity for yourself and to feel good again. It starts with appreciating the small "joys" in life and working up to feeling "happy". You have done it before and you know what joy feels like, you can do it again. Let's get started on your way back to truly living your life by making the thoughtful decision to be a participant in your future.

Blake Clemmons, MA, LPCA

Licensed Professional Counselor Associate

My approach to helping those struggling with depression is to offer a supportive environment of acceptance where one feels free to share their pain. I primarily use a Cognitive/Behavioral approach. In this approach I work with my clients to help them learn how to increase activities that have given them joy, such as calling a love one on the phone, going on a walk or bike ride in nature and decrease activities that make depression worse such as substance use or watching too much TV. I also collaborate with my clients to help them identify and challenge their automatic negative thoughts about themselves, and replace those negative thoughts with positive and adaptive thoughts and beliefs.

Teresa Helms, Psy.D.

Licensed Psychologist

Do you feel sad? Do you have a hard time enjoying activities that you used to love? Are you easily brought to tears?
I therapy with me, you can learn how to not let the world harden you and take your joy away. You can learn to process and talk about old wounds that continue to hurt and interfere with present day life functioning.
Together, we can get through whatever life has thrown at you and help you learn to survive the storm or even dance in the rain.

Every body faces difficult times in their lives. When those times cause acute stress, there can be serious depression that sets in on an individual. There is situational depression and then there is clinical depression. The client will benefit from a knowledge and experiential understanding of how to apply Biblical principles to their depression.
